Marianne,

Some news but still nothing really definite; I have spoken this evening at some length to the Supreme Court Office.

It seems that the judgment could be given by the full court either just before Easter or, if this is not possible, then sometime after 17 April [following the Easter break].

If it was possible this month then I envisage the week starting 26 March would be the most likely. As always I will keep you posted. It seems that the usual arrangements for the judgment will not apply in this case. There will be no embargoed copy sent to the parties' lawyers some days beforehand, so that it can be proof checked and any factual errors corrected.

It seems that the court is proposing to let the parties know the date very shortly beforehand and then to let them see the judgment at court for an hour or so before it is given. I believe this procedure would be unique.

However I most strongly advise that you stick with your holiday plans. I am sure that all can be covered by and others. Obviously we will provide maximum support from this end.

Thank you so much for being so helpful and please excuse me for giving you so much trouble. I am leaving the 29th of March and will be back on duty the 12th of April. I will attend a meeting in Stockholm the 12th and 13th.

I will get you a list of people on duty during my absence with e-mail addresses and phone numbers.

I will read my private email and mobile phone will be on during my vacation just in case.... Marianne From: [Redacted] Sent: 12 March 2012 16:11 To: 'Ny Marianne' Subject: FW: Agenda for today's meeting re Supreme Court judgement in Assange

You know you are never any trouble.

My colleague [Redacted] has kindly tried to flush out some information from the Supreme Court about possible dates. His response is below.

My best guess is next month. As always I will be touch as soon I have news. The concern of other agencies here is that there is now a large back log of extradition cases which are in abeyance pending the outcome of Assange. However I cannot stress enough that it is the UK system and law which are in issue and most definitely not the Swedish ones.

Please let me know when you are due to go away and I will liaise with you \[and perhaps [Redacted] so we can plan for all contingencies, as usual.

Have a good weekend. Marianne: Thanks. I will keep you posted during the hearing if anything important happens and will report back at the end of the day(s). Sorry for late reply but it has been rather busy today. All is ready. You can still blame me though.

From: Ny Marianne [mailto:Marianne.Ny@aklcare.se] Sent: 31 January 2012 11:51 To: [redacted] Subject: SV: ASSANGE Act 2011 MORE HELP PLEASE

Thank you for a good piece of advice. I will consider the established principle but I am inclined not to blame anyone at all. The information though is really helpful.

Good luck tomorrow. I have to go to Stockholm later this afternoon for an early meeting about trafficking in children. After that I will show up at [redacted] office. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you need any help.

Marianne

Just an update. I attach a note which I have received from the Supreme Court. The team is dealing with our response.

I envisage that any judgment will not now be for at least another 3 weeks. I will let you have details of our response and that of the defence in due course. Just say if you or [Redacted] need anything.

I hope your trip went really well and [Redacted] loved hearing all about the Assange case. -----Original Message----- From: Ny Marianne [mailto:Marianne.Ny@aklagare.se] Sent: 08 February 2012 15:32 To: [REDACTED] Subject: SV: Day 2 final update

There is absolutely no need for any apologizes. I am amazed how much work this one and only case takes. I expected the hearing to be the final effort on your side. I am glad to hear the response from other EU countries being so helpful. I agree, this is what international judicial cooperation should be about. I realize that it will take some time until we know if and when JA is to be expected to be returned to Sweden. It's good, as far as possible, to know what to expect. Many thanks to you, Clare and your team and thanks for always keeping me posted.

Kind Regards, Marianne

Marianne,

I am so sorry for the short delay in writing to you. I attach a note of the second and final day of the appeal.

The team is still dealing with further laborious material [to be submitted in writing] for the Supreme Court. It is just amazing how the work is still relentless.

Absolutely no indication when judgment will be given. I envisage at least 6 weeks. The court seems rather troubled by the whole question of other countries having such a wide interpretation of 'judicial authority' in particular how it can include prosecutors or officials from Ministries of Justice.

I would stress again that it is UK law which under the judicial spotlight not Swedish law [or a Swedish DPP]. One thing which I can say, without any reservation, is that Clare 'really did you proud' as we say here.

I will keep you posted with any news. I will also try to speak with you shortly and will happily deal with any questions or issues which you have.

During the last few weeks I have had to gather numerous pieces of information from foreign [EU] countries about their EAW systems. Their helpful responses, in absolutely every case, have been fantastic. That is what the Framework Decision and international judicial cooperation should be all about.

Speak soon.

Kindest Regards,

Marianne,

Always the way, I took a couple of days off last week and came back to find the court has listed the case for judgment on Wednesday. Plans are all in hand at this end. [redacted] will cover the press side here. [redacted] has her details.

The court will not [as it usually does] provide an embargoed draft of the judgment to the lawyers in the case some days prior to the hearing. I believe this is to ensure that there is no question of any possible leak of information. We will see it at 8.30 am [prior to a 9.15 am court] [redacted] An electronic version should be issued on the Court's website between 9.15-9.30 am. I envisage that the court will simply refer to the contents of full judgment, which is on the website and provide a shorter abbreviated version orally in court [for the benefit of the press and general public].

I will catch up with you on Wednesday/Thursday. I promise I will not leave the country, no matter what.

Please always remember, it is the UK system and its laws which are under scrutiny by the court and not those of Sweden.

[redacted]

From: Ny Marianne [mailto:Marianne.Ny@aklagare.se] Sent: 28 May 2012 10:58 To: [redacted] Subject: Supreme Court

[redacted],

I hope everything is fine with you. Finally we seem to be close to some kind of end (at least in UK). Unfortunately I am out of office on Wednesday when the judgement will be handed down but [redacted] will be in place to handle all press matters. The plan is to post a short information on our web site as soon as possible after the judgment is made public. [redacted] will connect to your press office. I guess there is no need of action from my side the very day. I will be back in Gothenburg on Thursday. If you want to get in touch you are most welcome to use my private address [redacted]

Kind regards, Marianne

Marianne Ny Överåklagare Thanks. Great to see you have the SC link. I was just about to send you details. One less job. The sun is shining. I recall the Guardian newspaper has also run a blog throughout the hearings.

Thank you and good luck! We will be watching the hearing on the Supreme Court web page.

Marianne: Thanks. I will keep you posted during the hearing if anything important happens and will report back at the end of the day(s). Sorry for late reply but it has been rather busy today. All is ready. You can still blame me though.

if you need a press contact here [link above] is the CPS press officer. Hi [Name],

Thank you very much for useful answers.

Wish you all the best of luck today,

Hi [Name],

In response to your queries, I've put the answers below. I've had a couple of calls from journalists all round the world: Japan, Australia and the US on this case so there is a lot of international interest.

Best wishes

[Name] Subject: Tomorrow's decision

Dear [Name],

We are preparing for tomorrow's decision from the Supreme Court. And we are prepared for (almost) all options... However, I would need your help in a few matters.

Option 1 If the court decides to surrender him, we would like to be very clear about the facts concerning the EAW regulations, especially of the fact that he should be transferred to Sweden as soon as possible. Would that be of any problem for you? Saying you want him transferred as soon as possible is not a problem for us. We do have a guide to the process on our blog. Here's the link: http://blog.cps.gov.uk/2012/01/julian-assange-extradition-process.html

Option 2 If A complains to the ECHR, I guess I will get lots of questions concerning the proceedings in UK related to the ECHR – which I know very little about. Is there anybody at the CPS, or somewhere else, who could and is prepared to answer such media questions? Please refer any queries to me on [Name].

Option 3 If the court decides that he should not be surrendered, it will very quickly become a political issue – at least in Sweden. We delegate (I) all political questions to our Ministry of Justice, but I suppose there will be quite a few tricky matters to consider. I might get in contact with you, in that case.

That's not a problem – happy to speak to you tomorrow when we know what's happening. My mobile is [Number] but I'll have it switched off in court tomorrow morning.

Hopefully everything goes as smooth as possible. My telephone is already busy, though.

Best regards,

[Name]
